A world without Pancreatic Cancer
Hello Facebook Pals!
I do hope you can help me out. During this coming month of September I am challenging myself to walk 84km to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research. This type of cancer is very aggressive. Only around 10% of people survive their cancer beyond 1 year after diagnosis and 1% after 3 years or more. Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer in the UK.
My sister lost her husband to this disease some years ago. Dave Quinton was my brother (in law), a huge guiding influence on my teenage years and beyond. He was my Best Man and someone who was fundamentally a good man. I have always aspired to emulate him (although some of you will know I may have slipped on occasions). Some of the rugby fraternity will recall my passion and dedication to training and fitness…so 84km will be a real challenge that even my disabled parking blue badge or Bus Pass will not ease.

I thought I’d finish off the Pancreatic Cancer appeal with a little tribute to Dave Quinton. He was taken far too early by this aggressive form of cancer. He was 59 when he passed away and that’s so unfair. Dave lived his life with an open heart, a quick smile and an unwavering devotion to his family. We had so many more memories to make and so many more laughs to share. Dave and my sister, Jacqui, built a home filled with warmth, security, and endless support for Tom, Jonty and Ollie. Whenever they needed a steady hand or a voice of reason, he was always there. Dave faced his illness with quiet dignity and courage. He didn't complain; instead, he focused on making the most of every single moment he had left with his family, ensuring that they felt secure. Once again I’d like to thank you all for your magnificent support! My Target was £500. You helped me raise £1120 That’s 225% of my target! Thanks Peeps! 🙋🏽♂️💙
